answers needs action
We do not need, and indeed never will have, all the answers before we act ... It is often through taking action that we can discover some of them.
thinking ideas light
The full implications of feminism will evolve over time, as we organize, experiment, think, analyze, and revise our ideas and strategies in light of our experiences. No theory emerges in full detail overnight; the dominant theories of our day have expanded and changed over many decades. That it will take time should not discourage us. That we might fail to pursue our ideas - given the enormous need for them in society today - is unconscionable.
issues
There is no issue that is not a women's issue.
years leader style
Whether there are innately female leadership styles... is not really the right question. It is more important to ask why there has been so little attention paid to women leaders over the years as well as why the styles of leading more often exhibited by women are particularly useful at this critical moment in history.
reality house needs
What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.
dream risk world
The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.
views issues feminism
Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.
skills ideas imagination
Leadership is people taking the initiative, carrying things through, having ideas and the imagination to get something started, and exhibiting particular skills in different areas.
lying challenges facts
Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life.
men acknowledge comment
I'd make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they'd all nod.
issues feminism world
Feminism is a transformational force, an individual and social force. It is a way of looking at the world-a questioning of power/domination issues, an affirmation of women's energy.
demands larger less modest state today women
The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.
call contrary ensure serious spirit stop success time urgency wanting wasting
We need to see a lot more than these 'concessions' from the US if they are serious about wanting to ensure the success of the Summit. Contrary to their claims, they are not negotiating with urgency and in a spirit of compromise. Women's organizations call on the US to stop wasting time of governments and the UN.
racism domestic-violence culture
Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.
